(4,140 posts)that sort of meltdown started with Reagan and then the nerve of Bill Clinton to deny Poppy Bush a second term...then...after Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 (I'm looking at YOU Ken Blackwell) and the audacity of Barack Obama to even DARE to be black and president...
This is DIFFERENT. Like screaming and anger that happens before acceptance

(63,221 posts)Up until just recently, it has been "Denial". They have not been able to accept the truth of the fact that their warped and narrow minded view of reality is a complete sham and so is their leader. Now that all is being revealed, they are reacting in anger, which is the most frightening phase of their demise. It is for us, anyway.
Soon they will go into bargaining, depression, testing and then finally acceptance. I don't know what the timeline will look like. It may take many years. But eventually they will get to a point where they realize that their way of life is stuck in the past and that they have lost. I just hope that they don't destroy us all in the process of getting there.

Why have they suddenly grown consciences?

(4,140 posts)and dozens of people saying, "This is a threat" and "YOU can be the one charges because you can't shoot someone for trespassing" and they bring up Russia...
Or they are ending every post with "And Epstein didn't kill himself"
Just more aggressive as more and more people peel off

It is I in meltdown over the abuse of the law by Trump and Barr and despite 200 years of every case imaginable that there are no guidelines to handle this kind of abuse.

(66,310 posts)Someone I have known since childhood. He once was sweet and thoughtful, but obviously grew up to be a vile Trump supporter. He posted something so awful about A-OC today that I finally removed him from my friends list.
His twin brother is among my closest friends and one of the sweetest people in the world.
